In her work, the artist addresses conflicts that are currently preoccupying people worldwide. Her works combine archetypes of our collective consciousness, taboos, gender issues and sexuality, intercultural reflections and questions of spiritual practice.
De la Horra grew up at a time when her native Chile was dominated by torture, abductions and human rights violations following the military junta's coup in 1973. The history of Chile has influenced her drawings, sculptures and installations just as much as her own family history, the mythologies of the indigenous population and the colonial rule of European countries in Central and South America.
Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, born in 1967 in Viña Del Mar in Chile, studied visual communication in her native city and then went on to study fine art at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, first with Jannis Kounellis and later with Rosemarie Trockel.
She went on to study photography, film and new media at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. She moved to Germany in 1995. in 2022 she took part in the 59th Biennale di Venezia. Sandra Vásquez de la Horra will be honored with extensive solo exhibitions at the Denver Art Museum in 2024 and the Haus der Kunst in Munich in 2025.
